Summary
William Lewis just got a 25-year prison sentence plus 8 years probation after ramming a Hillsborough County deputy in July 2024, leaving the officer with two broken legs. Lewis tried to flee a traffic stop, showed “zero regard for human life,” and later called his girlfriend — evidence that sealed his fate. He pleaded guilty to attempted murder of an officer, aggravated battery, leaving the scene, and drug charges. The State Attorney emphasized accountability and the broader impact on families and communities. The deputy, now recovered and back on duty with the K9 unit, embodies resilience and dedication — a powerful reminder of the risks officers face daily.
